269 4 MR. WOOD: Ready to go? 5 MR. KANE: I am ready. 6 Q. (By Mr. Kane) Mrs. Ramsey, the 7 last question I asked you was, you had this 8 concern about Burke and this killer and the 9 potential that he could be harmed, and in10 spite of concerns by your security people,11 you had him transported to and from the12 school by Susan Stein. Did Ms. Stein have13 any kind of training in self-defense, to your14 knowledge?15 A. I don't know.16 Q. Does she have any kind of17 training in taking evasive maneuvers if18 someone were to try to get into her car at19 a stop sign or anything like that?20 A. I don't know if she had any21 formal training in that.

LOLOLOL Susan Stine is formidible - ask any tabloid reporter! John and Patsy knew she would defend Burke if needed - they trusted her and she didn't let them down.

22 Q. Was there a discussion, when you23 talked about security issues with either24 Tracy Temple or with Ellis Armistead, were25 you privy to discussions about the potential

270 1 for harm to come to Burke while being 2 transported to or from school? 3 A. No. 4 Q. And in your recollection, that 5 never came up as an issue? Is that what 6 you are saying? 7 A. No. 8 Q. No, it didn't come up or -- 9 A. I was unaware if it ever came up.10 Q. Okay. When I asked you about11 what it was that you had in mind in setting12 up a security system, I take it that you13 thought somebody could come into the school14 and do harm to Burke inside the school; is15 that correct?16 A. Correct.17 Q. Okay. The --18 A. That's inconclusive of media as19 well.20 Q. Oh, okay. But was it more media21 than the killer?22 A. Well, it was all of those. You23 know, the media would alert -- their presence24 there would alert everyone that Burke was at25 the school, so I wasn't crazy about them

271 1 hanging around the school. Of course, the 2 killer was still out there; although, we had 3 been advised that he probably would not, you 4 know, come out because now everybody is 5 alerted and looking for him. 6 You know, and then there is what 7 they call copy cat people, you know, who 8 want to get a piece of the publicity, and 9 they would be lurking around. 10 Q. And who was it who gave you this11 advice that the killer would probably not12 want to come back?13 A. John Douglas.14 Q. Okay. And did Mr. Douglas tell15 you that -- or what did he tell you?16 A. Well, he said we had to be aware17 of three situations. One, obviously the18 killer was at large; two, what you call a19 copy cat killer, somebody that says, oh, that20 looks like an interesting idea, I think I21 will try to do the same thing; and, three,22 what he termed vigilante perpetrators or23 whatever term you want to use for them. You24 know, somebody that says, oh, you know, the25 police aren't taking care of this, I will

272 1 take care of it. 2 In other words, just alerting us 3 that there are a lot of crazy people out 4 there. 5 Q. And the first, so the first 6 concern he said was that it was probably 7 unlikely that the killer would come back, the 8 person that perpetrated the crime; is that 9 what he said?10 A. He said it was very unlikely.11 Q. Okay. But how about the copy cat12 killer, what kind of opinion did he offer13 about the potential for that?14 A. He said it was very great. 15 Q. And this would be somebody who16 would try to pattern what had already17 happened to JonBenet, to do the same thing18 to Burke?19 A. Uh-huh (affirmative). Right.20 MR. LEVIN: Can I interrupt you21 just a second, Mike? I am sorry.22 MR. KANE: Yes.23 Q. (By Mr. Levin) Mrs. Ramsey, as I24 understand it, at this point in time, which25 would be early 1997, your belief was that

273 1 the murder of your daughter was an act of 2 retaliation for some unknown reason towards 3 either you or your husband? 4 A. Right. 5 Q. You no longer hold that belief; 6 correct? 7 A. Not necessarily. 8 Q. I was under the impression that, 9 in your book, you stated you thought it was10 a pedophile.11 A. Well, it could be one in the12 same.13 Q. I see.14 MR. LEVIN: Thank you, ma'am.

What? How is that going to help identify the killer? Come ON, K&C - shart talking suspects, for crying out loud!

15 Q. (By Mr. Kane) In the third, the16 vigilante, what was Mr. Douglas' opinion17 about the probability or possibility about18 somebody feeling that the authorities weren't19 getting to the bottom of this so that they20 would do harm? 21 A. Uh-huh (indicating affirmatively).22 Q. What was his opinion about how23 strong of a threat that was?24 A. He just thought it was very25 strong because, in his years of experience,

274 1 there are lots of those kinds of strange 2 people out there. 3 Q. Did he talk to you about where 4 your copy cat killer or vigilante might 5 strike and where you should be careful? 6 A. No. 7 Q. But you thought that school was 8 certainly one of the places that a person 9 could come in?10 A. Well, since that's where Burke11 spent the greatest part of his day.12 Q. Okay. 13 A. You know, I'm the mother of a14 murdered child. I was fearful, just fearful15 of everything. Most particularly about my16 child, my husband, and myself.17 Q. Okay. And, I mean, did you have18 discussions either with Mr. Douglas or with19 Ellis Armistead or any of the other security20 people that you had, had you had discussions21 with them about how somebody might pose a22 threat to Burke while he was in school?23 A. Not specifically.24 Q. Did you have any kind of security25 on Burke outside of school?

275 1 A. Well, he was with us all the 2 time. You know, he was pretty much in a 3 protected environment other than the time he 4 was in school.

I think most of us feel we can protect out kids ourselves - or we trust other adults can (teachers and the like.) Especially if we know we are being vigilant.

What is K&C saying would have been the proper response to this murder - - for them to pull Burke out of school to homeschool him with armed guards stationed at every door?

Bullshit.

The killer had his chance to take Burke and didn't. There was little reason to think Burke was a target.

275 5 Q. When you say a protected 6 environment, other than the fact that his 7 parents were there, was there any protection 8 afforded to him outside of school? You 9 hired Tracy Temple, obviously, who was a10 trained martial arts person, I believe.11 A. Yeah. Well, we had, you know,12 for many days, we had security people, you13 know, with us at the homes where we were14 staying for quite some time.15 Q. Where, which homes?16 A. Jay Olowski's. I know we had17 somebody there then. And I believe there18 might have been someone when we were at Mike19 Bienam's house.20 Q. Who were these people? Who were21 the security people?22 A. Somebody Ellis's group sent.23 Q. So Ellis Armistead hired somebody24 to be at Jay Olowski's house?25 A. Yes.

So now we know they did fear for their safety in the beginning - enough to have armed security people nearby. But fear does fade - - and did. 276 1 Q. Did they stay in the house or 2 outside the house? 3 A. Inside. 4 Q. Inside the house? 5 A. Mostly at night. 6 Q. And you moved into Mike Bienam's 7 house at some point? 8 A. Uh-huh (affirmative). 9 Q. Was that after Jay Olowski?10 A. No. That was before.11 Q. Okay. And then how about the12 Stein's, did you have anybody there?13 A. I can't remember. I don't think14 we did as much. We may have for a few15 days when we first got there.16 Q. The people, the security people17 that were hired while you were at Mike18 Bienam's, let me -- how long did you stay at19 Bienam's after?20 A. My memory is real fuzzy with21 those days, but -- I can't remember that. A22 few days. Maybe a week or something.23 Q. And then you went to Jay24 Olowski's?25 A. Right.

277 1 Q. And you were there for a month or 2 so? 3 A. A couple of months, right. 4 Q. And then you went to the Stein's? 5 A. Right. 6 Q. And this person or these people, 7 how many -- was it one person that you had 8 as security at Jay Olowski's or was it a 9 series of people?10 A. It might be different people.11 Q. Was this 24 hour a day coverage?12 A. No. It was mostly at night.13 Q. And you say they were inside? 14 They were hired to be inside the house?15 A. Yes.16 Q. For the whole time that you17 stayed at Jay Olowski's house?18 A. I don't remember. I don't know19 if it was the whole time.20 Q. Did these people -- this security,21 you don't remember who it was?22 A. No.23 Q. Did they have any -- did you24 discuss with them transporting Burke to25 school?

278 2 Q. Did you discuss with anybody 3 having a professional security person 4 transport Burke to school? 5 A. I don't know. John may have. I 6 don't know. 7 Q. How about you, though? You were 8 involved in discussions with the school and 9 with the school district and with the10 principal, I believe, is that correct, about11 security arrangements while Burke was in12 school?13 A. I think so, yes. I mean, part14 of the concern was I wanted him protected,15 but at the same time I didn't want him made16 paranoid, you know. And he didn't want -- I17 didn't want him -- he didn't like Tracy18 Temple being there. He said, mom, why is19 this woman watching me all the time, and he20 knew the kids knew that she was watching.21 And so I am trying to walk a22 fine line to keep me happy and peace of mind23 about the security of my child, at the same24 time not making him overly paranoid. So25 the, you know, the best situation that we

279 1 could come up with that was satisfactory to 2 both John and me was that he would be, you 3 know, picked up by Susan Stein. She began 4 taking him to school when we were at the 5 Olowski's. She would take him, and I 6 believe at that time nobody really knew where 7 we were. And he would duck down, you know, 8 and she would get him to the school and that 9 kind of thing.10 Q. So you made a conscious decision11 then not to have security --12 A. In the transport.13 Q. -- because Burke didn't feel14 comfortable having security; is that what you15 --16 A. Right. He was, you know, he 17 was --18 MR. WOOD: You are talking about19 the lady Temple?20 Q. (By Mr. Kane) No. You said21 that --22 A. Well, Susan, you know -- see, we23 were -- the objective was to try to give him24 as much normalcy as possible, but at the25 same time putting, you know, security,

280 1 security measures in place that would, you 2 know, ensure his security. 3 Q. Why was the decision made to have 4 the security inside the classroom versus to 5 and from school? 6 A. Well, because -- and she -- I 7 don't believe Tracy was inside the classroom. 8 I think she was standing in the hall like 9 near close to the front doors so she could10 kind of be watching doors.11 Q. Well, inside the school proper.12 A. Yeah.13 Q. Why was the decision made, as you14 said --15 A. Well, it was much more of an16 uncontrolled environment. I mean, when you17 go from a locked garage to locked car to,18 you know, adult escort into the classroom,19 you know, that's pretty safe.20 Q. Is that what was represented to21 you, was that it was more secure -- it was22 more unsecure inside the school than it was23 going to and from school?24 A. Yes.25 Q. And who represented that to you?

281 1 Who told you that? I mean, when you say 2 that, let me ask it this way. 3 When you say that was represented 4 to you, was this represented to you by a 5 security consultant or Tracy Temple or Ellis 6 Armistead? 7 A. I don't remember. You know, I 8 just remember saying that I wanted somebody 9 at the school watching, you know. And at10 first, you know, we put Tracy Temple there,11 and then, you know, Burke was bothered by12 her being there, the children didn't know who13 she was, and the school said, you know, this14 is kind of becoming disruptive.15 And I said, well, you know, if16 there is nobody there, he's coming out. And17 then is when Susan and Roxy Walker got18 together with the principal, I believe, and19 said, you know, could we set up what they20 call a Burke watch. 21 And they had a team of volunteer22 parents, all of whom I knew, who volunteered23 around the clock to be right at the door,24 right outside the door of his fourth grade25 classroom.

282 1 And if he went to the bathroom or 2 somewhere, somebody would (indicating), you 3 know, without being right on his back, but 4 they were watching. 5 Q. And what were they expected to do 6 if somebody came into the school and tried 7 to harm Burke? 8 A. The first thing was to punch that 9 Lavalier, and call 911 and start screaming.10 Q. And then what were they expected11 to do after doing this, while the 91112 response came in?13 A. I don't know --

"...when you go from a locked garage to locked car to, you know, adult escort into the classroom, you know, that's pretty safe."

I would hope so. I would think so under the same circumstances - especially with everyone sensitive to the situation and keeping a close watch.

28213 14 MR. WOOD: I don't want to stir15 this up, but, you know, you guys got all the16 meat off this chicken you are going to get. 17 Come on, move on to something else. I am18 sitting here listening. You know, this is19 just absurd. This doesn't have anything to20 do with JonBenet's murder.21 MR. KANE: Are you asking her not22 to answer the question?23 MR. WOOD: I am asking you to24 move on to something productive. You just25 beat this one to death, man. Let's go.

283 1 THE WITNESS: I don't know what 2 they were supposed to do. They were 3 supposed to be there as a pair of eyes on 4 him and at a, you know, at an arm's length 5 without disrupting him, necessarily, but 6 keeping him as safe as possible. 7 Q. (By Mr. Kane) Well, Mr. Douglas 8 was brought into the case early, back in 9 January of 1997, and why was he brought into10 the case?11 A. I --12 MR. WOOD: Mr. Kane, you don't13 really want to ask questions on stuff14 subsequent to June of 1998, do you?15 MR. KANE: I made the record. I16 said if the objection is going to be that I17 can't, then I have no further questions. 18 And you said go ahead and ask your19 questions.20 MR. WOOD: No. I told you that21 I was not going to change my position. You22 were either going to do what Chief Beckner23 asked to be done and we agreed to --24 CHIEF BECKNER: Before we go on,25 time out, time out.

284 1 MR. WOOD: Mr. Kane just wants a 2 free-for-all. We didn't come here prepared 3 to do that. Maybe we would have done it if 4 you asked for it. I don't know. But this 5 is not in good faith what you asked me to 6 do, Chief. 7 CHIEF BECKNER: Hang on here. I 8 believe the questions you are leading up to 9 are based on, while it goes back to an event10 prior to June of 1998, it is based on11 information from interviews that you got12 subsequent to June of 1998; isn't that13 correct.14 MR. KANE: Correct.15 MR. WOOD: Well, you all can work16 that out amongst themselves, but asking why17 they hired John Douglas, I mean, you know,18 that's just not going to get it, so I am19 going to ask you to move on to something20 that is new, a new question based on21 information developed or evidence since June22 of 1998. 23 I'm going to draw the line now24 with you, and I am going to draw it very25 firm. Okay?

285 1 If you want to make a record with 2 me making that statement, I will be glad to 3 make it each and every time, and maybe you 4 will catch a question I will let her answer 5 and maybe you won't. 285 5 6 Q. (By Mr. Kane) Did John Douglas 7 interview you? 8 A. Yes. 9 Q. Did he interview you individually?10 A. Individually? You mean like11 without anybody else in the room?12 Q. Well, when I say individually,13 without Mr. Ramsey being present.14 A. I believe so. 15 Q. That's your recollection?16 A. Yes. I can't remember exactly. 17 I mean, we have been with him, you know,18 more than once. So --19 Q. I am talking about back in20 January of 1997.21 MR. WOOD: Did you know that 22 Mr. Douglas had been involved in January of23 1997?24 MR. KANE: I knew he was, but I25 was never given access to him until probably

286 1 January of 1999. 2 MR. WOOD: Is that -- 3 MR. KANE: I never got access to 4 him until January of 1999. I asked. 5 CHIEF BECKNER: So that's new 6 information. 7 MR. WOOD: What is new 8 information, that he got access to him in 9 January of 1999?10 MR. KANE: I got to ask him11 questions in January of 1999.12 MR. WOOD: What does that have to13 do with asking her questions?14 MR. KANE: Here we go again. 15 Okay. Let's move on. I don't want to sit16 and debate this all day. I'll move on and17 note your objection.18 MR. WOOD: Thank you.

Kane's real point is that if the Ramseys truly believed an intruder killed their daughter, they would not have let Burke out of their sight. Since they did allow him to return to school, Kane and LE thought this reinforced what they themselves thought happened the night of the murder: one or the other parent killed JonBenet. Thus, the parents knew Burke was safe.

In other words, Kane was still trying to pin the murder on the parents. He went to Atlanta with no other intention. He was not about to discuss newly developed evidence with the prime suspects. Kane had no intention of sharing information nor of brainstorming.

28618 19 Q. (By Mr. Kane) Okay. The20 JonBenet Ramsey Foundation, is that still in21 existence? 22 A. Yes.23 Q. Does it have any money in it?24 A. A little.25 Q. What is the most it has had in

287 1 it since it was started? Do you know? 2 A. I don't know. 3 Q. Do you have any idea? 4 A. Not really. I don't keep the 5 books. 6 Q. Have you ever looked at the books 7 of the Foundation or looked at any kind of a 8 financial statement about it? 9 A. I don't know that I have. I10 don't think so.11 Q. Have you ever conducted any kind12 of efforts to raise money for the Foundation?13 A. No.14 Q. Has the Foundation, to your15 knowledge, ever spent any money on any of16 the things that the purpose of it, you know,17 is stated --18 MR. WOOD: Other than what she19 told you about back in June of 1998?20 MR. KANE: I never asked anything21 in June of 1998.22 MR. WOOD: Are you representing23 to me that the Foundation was never discussed24 in June of 1998?25 MR. KANE: I don't know if it

288 1 was or not. I don't think it was. 2 MR. WOOD: Why don't you find 3 that out, and then we will decide whether to 4 answer it. 5 THE WITNESS: I think I -- 6 MR. WOOD: Wait. He's going to 7 find out whether he discussed it or not. 8 MR. KANE: Okay. Here's 9 another --10 MR. WOOD: I personally am11 getting disgusted that we are talking about12 the finances of the JonBenet Ramsey13 Foundation when we are supposed to be talking14 about information about the death of the15 child. I just am getting to the point where16 maybe I had enough. 17 Do you want to ask something to18 move this investigation forward or do you19 want --20 MR. KANE: I feel this is moving21 it forward.22 MR. WOOD: I am sure you do,23 sir.24 MR. KANE: You know what, we are25 the only law enforcement agency that has the

289 1 authority to -- 2 MR. WOOD: You are still a law 3 enforcement agent? 4 MR. KANE: I am under contract 5 with the Boulder D.A.'s office. 6 MR. WOOD: Do you have a copy of 7 that contract? 8 Are you being paid by the hour 9 for your time here or are you doing it pro10 bono?11 MR. KANE: No. I'm being paid. 12 I am being paid to be here.13 Q. (By Mr. Kane) What, to your14 knowledge, if any, money was spent for any15 purposes that the Foundation was being set up16 to advance?17 MR. WOOD: This is your last18 question on the Foundation unless you can19 relate it to who murdered the child. I am20 going to draw the line.21 THE WITNESS: There have been22 gifts donated if that's what you are asking.23 Q. (By Mr. Kane) No, I'm not asking24 about donations. I am asking about money25 going out.

290 1 A. That is what I am saying. There 2 have been gifts given to non-profits. 3 Q. Do you know what those are? 4 MR. WOOD: Didn't I just say that 5 we need to move on to another subject? I 6 think that -- 7 THE WITNESS: I do know some of 8 them. 9 MR. WOOD: Can you go on to10 something that will help us figure out who11 killed the child?12 MR. KANE: Lin, how do you, let13 me ask you then, will you please define --14 MR. WOOD: I mean, I'm so15 disgusted at what you are doing, I am not16 going to define anything for you, Mr. Kane.17 MR. KANE: Well, then I have no18 idea of whether any questions --19 MR. WOOD: I don't think you have20 any idea what is a relevant question in a21 murder investigation. 22 MR. KANE: Now you're --23 MR. WOOD: I just think I'm24 just tired.25 MR. KANE: I think you are right.

291 1 MR. WOOD: It's been a long day 2 and I've had to listen to a lot of back and 3 forth. It's five minutes to 5:00. Maybe 4 I'm just wearing down. But, you know, why 5 don't we just close it up -- 6 CHIEF BECKNER: Just keep going. 7 MR. WOOD: Why don't we close it 8 down for the day. 5:00 was my kind of cut 9 off time anyway. I don't know about you10 all, but I am pretty tired.11 MR. KANE: I can go on all12 night.13 MR. WOOD: Mr. Kane, that 14 doesn't -- I don't want to -- you may be15 Superman, but I'm not.16 MR. KANE: So are you saying you17 want to stop it? Obviously --18 MR. WOOD: No, I mean, I'm 19 just -- 20 MR. KANE: Well, then tell me, do21 you want to stop it or keep going?22 MR. WOOD: My goal coming in was23 to go to 5:00, and it's five minutes to24 5:00. 25 MR. KANE: Okay. Five more

The great Kane was not interested in discussing leads, suspects and evidence - - he wanted to know about Burke's security, about John Douglas' techniques and about the foundation.... what a waste of time.

Ane we were home hoping something would be accomplished. I keep coming back to that - - we had hope - shouldn't have. Glad Kane is off case now. Hope it stays that way. He was a real jerk.

292 2 Q. (By Mr. Kane) All right. Since 3 I can't ask my questions about the 4 Foundation, I'll move on to something else. 5 When you said in your book and 6 you said recently in interviews that the 7 reason, I don't know the specific page, but 8 let me ask you. 9 MR. WOOD: Let's try to find one.10 Q. (By Mr. Kane) The reason that11 you went on CNN in January of 1997 was12 because Fleet White insisted --13 MR. WOOD: Let's find that now.14 MR. KANE: I mean, is it --15 MR. WOOD: No, no, Patsy, please16 wait. You've got something in the book or17 some interview, please let us see it, put it18 in context.19 Q. (By Mr. Kane) Let me ask you20 this way, did you say that in your book?21 MR. WOOD: No. You already22 represented it's in the book and you're23 coming from there. So let's just find it in24 the book and let her look at it in context.25 MR. KANE: Okay. I will find

293 1 it. I will find it. 2 MS. HARMER: It is around 45, 44. 3 Around 45, 44. 4 MR. KANE: Thank you. 5 Q. (By Mr. Kane) All right. Mr. 6 Ramsey's statement on page 43. 7 MR. WOOD: Hold on. We found 8 it. Let me just take a look at it. 9 Okay. We are with you.10 Q. (By Mr. Kane) This was obviously11 Mr. Ramsey stating this in the book, the12 last paragraph on page 43, but was that your13 understanding too? Is that why you went to14 see him, partially because Fleet had15 insisted?16 A. That was a large part of it.17 Q. Okay. Now, that was January the18 1st of 1997; is that correct? It was the19 day after the funeral.20 A. Was it? Okay. I don't remember21 what day it was.22 Q. All right. And this, you23 described, in that same chapter, that same24 page, about confrontations you had with25 Fleet.

294 1 MR. WOOD: What page are you 2 talking about now? 3 MR. KANE: This whole, that's the 4 whole chapter. 5 MR. WOOD: The chapter Facing the 6 Cameras? 7 MR. KANE: Yes. I mean, the two 8 paragraphs before that, after Fleet arrived 9 in Atlanta, he kept arguing that we didn't10 need lawyers to defend us. The solution was11 to go on national television and tell our12 story.13 MR. WOOD: Okay. 14 MR. KANE: There is a point in15 here, and if you are going to make me tell16 you the exact spot, I will find it for 17 you where you say.18 MR. WOOD: We want to be fair.19 MR. KANE: -- Fleet got into --20 or you got a phone call from Mr. Ramsey's21 brother Jeff.22 MR. WOOD: What page are you on?23 MR. KANE: I don't have the page.24 MR. WOOD: Well, you have to --25 MR. KANE: All right. All right.

295 1 I am not going to ask the question. 2 MR. WOOD: I don't mind her 3 answering if you just help us. 4 THE WITNESS: Well, I mean, I 5 remember -- 6 Q. (By Mr. Kane) You remember the 7 whole thing? Okay, outside of the book -- 8 MR. WOOD: I want to put it 9 in --10 MR. KANE: All right. I'll close11 the book. I won't --12 MR. WOOD: I do want to see what13 you're talking about in the book.14 THE WITNESS: There is someplace15 where John talks about with you know 16 Fleet --17 MR. WOOD: Jane, do you know?18 MS. HARMER: I believe she made a19 statement today in this interview prior about20 this situation.21 MR. KANE: There have been a22 bunch of statements. I am not going to23 quote the book.24 MR. WOOD: But you started the25 book and you leave it dangling about the

296 1 book, and I want you to help me find in the 2 book what you're talking about. 3 MR. KANE: It is my question 4 though. It is my question. 5 MR. WOOD: And it's not my 6 witness. 7 MR. KANE: I am withdrawing that 8 part of the -- 9 Q. (By Mr. Kane) Isn't it not true, 10 Mrs. Ramsey, that Fleet White, according to11 John's brother, that Fleet and he got into12 some kind of argument and you got a phone13 call at your mother's house that Fleet was14 on his way over?15 MR.

And I18 thought we were going to have some new19 information in the book that would go back20 over that.21 MR. KANE: It is repeated in the22 book.23 MR. WOOD: Then what is the new24 information?

Guys, what 5 time is it, what's Colorado time right now? 6 CHIEF BECKNER: 3:00. 7 MR. WOOD: Well, no wonder I am 8 the only one tired. I am in Georgia time. 9 MR. KANE: I live in the east.10 MR.

The Ramseys were interviewed going in to these interviews - they said they hoped to sit with K&C and brainstorm and accomplish something. By the end of the first day, I feel sure they knew that wasn't going to happen.

Just reading this I want to lash out at Kane - he was a jerk - he was simply maddening and I honestly think he should have been asked to leave long before this point - by Beckner!

But he was paid to be there, he led the group and he made a bloody mess of it. Nothing was getting accomplished. Kane was looking for something to happen so he could go out and bad mouth the Ramseys - it is obvious - but he isn't catching that fish. Lin is getting upset for good reason - and doing a good job keeping things straight. Beckner is being a wimp.

abandoned by the police after JBR's body was found. How idiotic is it to tell them to check into a hotel (while the police figured out what the h#ll they had on their hands)? The Ramseys had no idea what they were suppose to do, not to mention dealing with the shock and trauma of everything they experienced. Why weren't the police involved in security for Burke? Particularly considering the notoriety of the case? Why did the Ramseys have to consult with a profiler on the security issues? Why weren't the police helping in that area? Or at least consulting other experts?

You'd think the police would have wanted to hang around the school, just in case the killer was nearby observing. John Douglas's logic makes sense...and if not the perp, the crazies that might want to make a name for themselves? If the Ramseys were so evil, why would all of these mothers volunteer their time to help out at the school?

Kane is a jerk, IMO. I wonder how much he charged for this wasted trip?

I honestly don't know what Lin Wood got paid for that day - but I know the taxpayers didn't pay for it.

Did we need to send SEVEN people from Colorado and Pennsylvania to Atlanta for 2 days for THIS?

You and I see things differently.

I would say the Ramseys got their money's worth, no matter what it cost. I think the taxpayers got ripped off. Plane fares, hotel rooms, meals and wages - - for what?

If they had shown photos and asked questions about this evidence, that suspect... if they had gotten just a bit closer to the answer... but they spent more time bickering and ego-stroking.... sorry - I just feel sick about what happened there - - and I can see why Beckner and all didn't want this public.

Excerpt: Although Wood likened the Ramsey interviewers to a "lion with its mouth open, ready to bite off their heads," he said he hoped that law enforcement is serious about its pledge to follow up on other leads in the case.

Beckner recently said police are revisiting a case that occurred in September 1997 to see if there is any connection to JonBenet's murder . In that case, an intruder sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl after allegedly hiding in the girl's Boulder home for hours.

So why no questions in reference to the facts of this other case?

Why no questions such as--when you unpacked your belongings from your Boulder home, did you notice anything out of place, missing, added? Did you find anything that did NOT belong to you? Have you, in the intervening years, remembered anything about JonBenet's last day that you have not shared with us? Do you recall seeing anyone out of the ordinary or a stranger to your neighborhood prior to the murder of your daughter? Did you ever get threatening mail, phone calls, email? Has anything, however small, surfaced in your memory since that time?

Picture this - 7 people from the BPD fly in - 6 men and one woman - they sit on three sides of a table - on the other side is Patsy, Lin and the stenographer.... Two cameras in the room - one from an end of the table filming so Patsy is on the left and Beckner straight ahead.... the other camera was behind Kane doing a full face of Patsy.

A bit imposing, I would say.

The Ramseys agreed to meet to answer questions but there was also supposed to be a period of sharing - brainstorming... didn't happen.

I would like to point out to the BORG and others that while LE did try to suggest the fibers on JBR's genitals were from John's shirt - they were not willing to show any document saying the lab had come to that determination.

And they did not - at ALL - say there was evidence of prior sexual abuse - - just didn't happen - - and if they had any evidence of that you can bet they would have shared THAT.
